     | 32,625 views

    The story of Jairus teaches us that when we face grief, we never should never lose sight of the fact that Jesus gives hope whenever there is death.

    INTRODUCTION In the past few miracles we’ve seen that Jesus has power over danger. He calmed the scary storm. He has power over demons; He transformed a scary man.

    Dodging Decisions Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 21, 2021
     | 1,871 views

    What is often passed off as indecisiveness or propriety or procrastination is a dishonest attempt to keep from honoring what is right and fair. We can see Felix’s motives as an example. We can also see how God can use such red tape.

    Dodging Decisions (Acts 24:1-27) 1. So today we honor our graduates, and we honor our fathers. 2. I will honor our graduates with a joke: Why did Mary want to work at a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet even though she'd received her B.A. degree?

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 11, 2025
     | 301 views

    Setbacks are often seen as moments of defeat, delay, or discouragement. Yet, for a believer, a setback is never the end of the story—it is a divine pause that God uses to orchestrate something far greater than we ever imagined.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 50:20 Supporting Texts: Romans 8:28, Job 42:10-12, 2 Corinthians 4:17, Psalm 30:5, John 11:4 INTRODUCTION: Setbacks are often seen as moments of defeat, delay, or discouragement.
